The Alternative Board

Do What You Love. Own Your Own Business.

Achieve Financial Rewards.

The Alternative Board (TAB) is the world’s largest peer-to-peer support and business coaching franchise. For 30 years, business professionals who have taken on the TAB franchise opportunity have improved the lives of business owners worldwide.

When was the last time you woke up before the alarm clock and couldn’t wait to get started with your business day? It’s not often that a business opportunity offers a real sense of personal satisfaction combined with financial freedom and flexibility, but a TAB franchise does exactly that. Our worldwide network of over 300 franchisees is supported by a team of experts in all essential business disciplines.

TAB helps forward-thinking SME business owners grow their businesses, increase profitability and improve their lives by leveraging local business advisory boards, private business coaching and using proprietary strategic processes.

What does a TAB franchisee do?

As a TAB franchisee, you will nurture the growth of local businesses and deliver real-world advice that provides a results-driven advantage to help business owners stay focused on what matters most.

You will also provide individual coaching sessions using TAB’s proprietary tools and processes. Working one-to-one, you will analyse their business and help them create a customised strategic plan that will allow them to reach their business objectives and personal vision.
